1 Corinthians 1:18 in Context — 1 Corinthians 1
16 J’ai encore baptisé la famille de Stéphanas; du reste, je ne sache pas que j’aie baptisé quelque autre personne.
17 Ce n’est pas pour baptiser que Christ m’a envoyé, c’est pour annoncer l’Évangile, et cela sans la sagesse du langage, afin que la croix de Christ ne soit pas rendue vaine.
18 Car la prédication de la croix est une folie pour ceux qui périssent; mais pour nous qui sommes sauvés, elle est une puissance de Dieu.
19 Aussi est-il écrit: Je détruirai la sagesse des sages, Et j’anéantirai l’intelligence des intelligents.
20 Où est le sage? Où est le scribe? Où est le disputeur de ce siècle? Dieu n’a-t-il pas convaincu de folie la sagesse du monde?
